Today Iraq is going through very important times, the parliament just passed an agreement with the United States that will give Iraq total sovereignty and we have important elections coming up early next year and it is only appropriate that we end the year with Destination Baghdad EXPO and Conference at the new Baghdad International Airport Convention Center planned for December 15th – 17th. This event was originally scheduled for April 2004 but security concerned prevented the event from taking place. Today we can say with confidence that security is fine and we can look forward to the future with optimism and hope.

The private sector in Iraq and foreign investment are the engines for growth and job creation, most developed countries create over 80% of jobs from the private sector, Iraq is blessed with the most important natural resource "OIL", however as important as oil and gas are, they will never create enough jobs to overcome the chronic unemployment in iraq.

DBX EXPO and Conference and other like events are opportunities to kick start the local economy, tradeshows bring thousands of buyers and sellers together in one place in a short period of time to exchange business opportunities and we are proud to organize such events.

DBX EXPO and Conference will bring together over 300 local, national and international companies together and our approached has always been to involve the Iraqi government and create cooperation and understanding between the private and public sector, some 14 Iraqi ministries, many national business federations, chambers of commerce, professional unions and NGO's are participating free of charge as our way to say of saying we appreciate your work and they are all involved in developing a better future for Iraq.
DBX Conference has over 40 sessions covering all areas related to business, please make sure you attend as many sessions as you can and always make sure you tell us what you think, your input is our only means to improve.

For 2009, we will announce several tradeshows related to construction, renewable energy and agriculture and any ideas you have please make sure we hear from you.
